Don't bother with this guide book. It has very little real content in it, and is short of insider information. It does have some good pictures, but they're not going to be of much help. Go for the "Rough Guide to Budapest" instead.

I found this guide to be an excellent. OK, I did have a whole week, but would have found it just as useful had I only had a few days. I didn't in fact follow the suggestions for daily planning, but found the level of detail very useful. As for the recommendations, we ate in a couple of recommended places and they lived up to expectation, as did our Hotel, also recommended - although I'd booked it before buying the book. It's helpful to have the different areas of Florence so well defined and the maps are good. And since we also visited Pisa and Sienna, were also glad of the info provided for those cities.

Probably the most comprehensive and elegant guide to the city of Venice, with hundreds of photographs and color illustrations to augment the highly readable text (translated from the French by Anthony Roberts). The emphasis is on history, architecture, and art, but you'll also find a large section of practical advice and maps. The durable, flexible plastic cover is another significant plus. If you can afford only one Venice guidebook, this is the one you need. - Durant Imboden, Venice for Visitors, http://govenice.miningco.com
